Water line break
by Dottle McGrew
There were moments
in the early morning
hours of Monday, Feb.
23, when City Administrator Mike Sumser wondered if North Canton
residents would greet
the new day properly
showered and shaved.
The water level in
the city's water tower
dropped 11 feet in a-
bout an hour as a result of a major leak in
a 12-inch pipe located
on Everhard Road under
the expressway.
"It was quite a
sight. You would have
to see it to believe
it," Sumser said. "The
pipe blew broadly, carrying rocks and debris
with it, and flooding
Whipple Ave. up to E-
lite Motors," he continued.
The city received
the first call about
water discoloration at
5:35 a.m. on Monday. By
6:35 a.m. Water Department crews had isolated
the section of pipe
containing the leak,
and repair work was
started.
Sumser said conditions were back to normal by 11:50 a.m.
The 12-inch cast
iron pipe was laid 20
years ago. Sumser theorized that the leak was
probably caused by a
large rock which happened to settle against
the pipe in the backfill process and which
was constantly vibrated
by traffic.
North Canton City Council approves keg law, debates rezoning
by Dottie McGrew
It's official! By
action of City Council
on Feb. 23, a Keg Law
is now in effect in
North Canton.
The ordinance forbids adults, in any
property they own or
occupy, from serving
beer or intoxicating
alcohol to minors, other than family members,
or encouraging or contributing to drinking
by minors.
The ordinance would
also criminalize the
conduct of adults who
aid a minor in the
purchase of intoxicants.
Adults found guilty
would face up to six
months in jail and a
$1,000 fine.
The new legislation
originally was proposed
by the city's ad hoc
committee dealing with
the problems related.to
alcohol abuse by the
underaged. This committee was a moving force
in the adoption of a
model Open Container
law in December, 1986.
Mayor William Hines
said that there have
been 27 arrests since
the Open Container ordinance was adopted.
Twenty-two of those
arrested were juve-,
niles.
In other action, by
a vote of five to two.
Council approved the
first reading of a proposed amendment to the
City's Zoning Code
which would permit the
rezoning of the Grand-
jean property from single family residential
to residential multi-
family A (RMF-A).
If approved, the
rezoning would permit
the construction of
condominiums on the
property which is located on, the north side
of Everhard Road SW.
Councilmen Wechter,
Willaman, Boyajian,
Grady and Maag voted
for the . amendment.
Councilman Revoldt and
Rice voted aqainst it.
Those councilmen in
favor of the proposed
rezoning believe the
condominium corrmunity
planned by Developer
William Holder represents the highest and
best use of the land.
Councilman Gary Wechter said that he believes the current plan

School studies
by Doftle McG
The North Canton
school administration
is investigating options to improve the
district's telephone
system, with particular
emphasis directed to
upgrading service at
Hoover High School
South Campus.
The Board of Education authorized the
administration to initiate the study during
their meeting of Jan.
15, citing the inadequacy of the present
system to handle the
daily volume of. calls.
Board members also felt
the current communication system does not
offer the necessary
privacy to educators
and parents.
Although the study
is not completed. Administrative Assistant
Vic Stefan said preliminary information
indicates a savings of
$200 per month could be
realized by replacing
the current rented e-
quipnent with a more
modern and efficient
centrex system secured
on a lease-purchase
plan.
The district currently pays $1080 per
month to rent telephone
equipment. That cost
would be reduced to
$800 monthly by moving
to a centrex system.
Under the centrex
system, all district
schools would be connected by an intercom
system and there would
be no limit on the
number of calls made.
With the business lines
now in use, each call
over 2000 costs seven
cents.
Stefan said that
under the two-to-five-
year lease-purchase
plan not only would the
monthly payments be
lower, but the rental
could be applied to the
purchase of the equipment.
A formal recommendation should be ready
for the next Board
meeting.
The Board approved
payment of $258,749 for
reroofing and concurrent repair work at
Greentown Elementary,
Orchard Hill Elementary, Clearmount Elementary, Junior High
and Portage Resource
Center.
The originally approved $250,000 was
increased to cover repair work such as gutters, spouting, and
roof drains.
The Board also heard
a presentation by North
Campus students detailing their year-long
curriculum objectives
and their special efforts in celebrating National Vocational
Education Week. Board
President Jean Arndt
called their work both
"wonderful and practical as exemplified by
their poise in public
speaking tonight."
liminates almost all of
the objections homeowners have raised since
1979 when the question
of rezoning first a-
rose.
"I don't believe
condominiums in the
$100,000 range will
lower property values
in the surrounding neighborhoods, " Wechter
said.
Councilman Joe Grady
said that the condominiums will serve as an
"excellent buffer" between the commercialism
of Belden Village and
the single family
homes.
In opposing the proposed rezoning. Councilman Daryl Revoldt
said that the vote
hinged on an "individual, subjective definition of the best and
highest use of the
land."
Speaking against
rezoning the parcel,
Councilman Tom Rice
reminded the Council
that the vote centers
on a single issue:
"changing a parcel of
land from single family
to multi-family against
the expressed wishes of
the public."
"It is plain to me
that the public does
not want this land re
zoned. I certainly hope
that these people put
this issue on the ballot in North Canton,"
Rice said.
Rice further questioned the ability of
the developer to sell
the proposed condominium properties, citing
the railroad track, the
creek, and the proximity to Belden Village as
obstacles to sale.
Rice concluded by
saying, "I don't think
we need more multi-
family units in this
city. I think North
Canton should grow with
good, solid, single-
family dwellings."
The developnent of
the ten acre property
of Ronald and Velda
Grandjean has been controversial for the past
eight years.
A rezoning request
was denied by Plain
Township when the property was under township
jurisdiction.
The property has
since been annexed to
North Canton.
The proposed rezoning to RMF-A excludes
the southeast corner of
the parcel where the
family homestead is
located.
According to Lon
Swinehart, Vice Presi
dent of Holder Construction, development
plans call for construction of approximately 55 units of contemporary rustic design
which give the appearance of a single family
home with an attached
garage. The units would
be sited in a naturalized setting with
ponds, a waterfall, and
much open space, according to Swinehart.
Swinehart believes
these units would appeal to professionals
employed in the Belden
Village area. They
would sell for approximately $125,000 each.
In Monday night's
meeting, as well as in
previous meetings, residents of surrounding
areas voiced their concerns about traffic,
safety, property devaluation, and maintaining
the integrity of their
neighborhoods.
Carol J. Willaman,
of Heatherwood Street,
said she objected most
strongly to the rezoning. Ms. Willaman said,
"This is just the beginning. I hope the
people of North Canton
realize this. It isn't
going to end with
the Grandjean property.
Long after you (coun
cil ) are gone, we are
going to have to live
with your decision."
Many residents voiced concern about
through streets and
traffic destroying the
environmental integrity
of their neighborhood.
Council President
John Boya j ian assured
residents there would
be no through streets
connecting the condominium community with
the surrounding residential neighborhoods.
Boyajian said that the
developer has offered
to convey an easement
to the city making
through-road construction impossible. The
developer also plans to
site a duplex in such a
way as to prevent construction of a through-
street.
Not all residents
are opposed to rezoning. Carol Notch of
Salway Street said,
"This is an area that
is going to be developed. I do not feel we
have a right to ask
a neighbor to keep
his property undeveloped for our convenience."
The amendment to the
Zoning Code is scheduled for a second reading on March 9.
Judge John Milligan visits social studies classes. Judge
John Milliijun visited the fifth und sixth grade classes

The gas well drilling apparatus that sent
a delegation of Bob-0-
Link residents to the
meeting of Plain Township Trustees on Feb.
17 has been removed.
Gone with the drilling
equipment is the round-
the-clock noise that
caused many sieepless
nights for residents.
A spokesperson for
Paul Weber, who has a
permit to drill the
well, said the drilling
process is completed.
The well is located
on the former Mohler
Farm between Mt. Pleasant Road and Mohler
Drive. Weber purchased
the farm several years
ago and plans to develop the area. The farm
is zoned R-3, low density multi-family, except for frontage on
Mt. Pleasant Road which
is zoned A-l agricultural .
Of deeper concern to
residents is future use
of the land and devaluation of their property.
A spokesperson for
Weber pointed out that
a functioning gas well
is located in a newly
opened area where lots
are selling from
$36,000 to $50,000 and
its presence does not
appear to be hindering
sales.
In speaking for the
township, Administrator
Mike Miller said, "By
law the township is not
empowered to do anything about this. The:
state legislature has
seen fit to withdraw
the ability of local
townships to regulate
the location of gas
wells. We are not aware
that an application has
been filed until after
a permit has been
granted by the Division
of Oil and Gas of the
Department of Natural
Resources."
"I believe the process should be changed,
at least so that someone from Columbus views
the proposed well site
and its relationship to
homes. They (Department
of Natural Resources)
have no idea of that
relationship at the
present time," Miller
said.
What It Means to Me" was a project of the General
